The day of her visit also happened to be when the station was conducting pregnancy tests on the cows. Vicki couldn't help herself, and luckily, the whole experience has been caught on tape.

On a more serious note, cattle producers from across the Territory travelled to Darwin to meet the Prime Minister and talk about the suspension of the live cattle export trade.

The Prime Minister said that trade will not resume until the animal welfare issue is properly addressed, but Territory pastoralists say they have an animal welfare disaster on their hands here in our own backyard. They told Vicki all about this.

Another concern that has been raised among pastoralists is that Indonesia will look to another market to replace Australia during the suspension of live exports.

Cattle producers are worried that if Indonesia looks to Brazil for cattle to slaughter, foot and mouth disease from the South American nation increase the risk of that destructive disease ending up in Australia.

On the back verandah at Mt Ringwood station, about cattle producer Markus Rathmann and vet Gehad Jayawardhana explained their concerns to Vicki Kerrigan.
